I am learning latin several hours a day. My greatest interests are languages and to find out how they work. I find most other things much to boring and it makes me sad. What can I do?
Become a linguist, or given your interest in ancient/extinct languages, a comparative philologist (not that that field is rife with job opportunities IME... :-/). Since you are apparently in Austria and probably German-speaking Google for "vergleichende Sprachwissenschaft" and/or look up that term on the German Wikipedia -- as we all know: if an article exists on the German WP it is usually better than its German counterpart. Just take care not to mix in your conlanging in your official philology.
